Sony Pictures CEO: 'This Won't Take Us Down'


Only secret documents can be leaked. Public documents cannot be leaked.

Sorry, it's actually true. We only use "leak" when someone makes it possible for people to read secret documents. If the information is already available to people, it cannot be leaked.


Movie, film, and motion picture (sometimes called just "picture") all mean the same thing.

Sorry, it's true. Writers will often use all three words, because it is a good idea not to repeat the same word too often. 

In the U.S., the word "film" sometimes is used mainly about movies with a serious subject, or movies that were not made in the U.S. "Motion picture" is usually used about movies shown in a movie theater, rather than on TV.



Which THREE of the following pieces of information are "sensitive"?

Not quite. The three answers that are examples of sensitive information are:

1. the amount someone is paid
2. a review of how well someone does his or her job, written by the boss
3. what illness someone has paid for using the workplace health insurance

Sensitive information is private information that people do not want other people to know about and that needs to be kept secret and dealt with carefully.


Not quite. Here are the answers: 

1. In a typical large corporation, the chairman leads the board of directors, which serves to protect the interests of shareholders.
2. In a typical large corporation, the CEO is the top manager in the company, responsible for running the business.
3. In a typical large corporation, a president is in charge of one business unit or subsidiary within the corporation.

There is a lot of variation between different companies, but this is the most common structure. The CEO (Chief Executive Officer) runs the business, but is selected by and accountable to the board of directors, led by the chairman. The president is typically the second-in-command (below the CEO) in the company hierarchy. In corporations with several business units or subsidiaries, each of them may be led by a president. 

Not all businesses use all three roles, and it's not uncommon for the same person to hold two roles at the same time.
